From the Organizer
We’re opening up new opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians—and you’re invited to be among the first to experience them!
Join the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and Transurban, operator of the 495 Express Lanes, for a free family-friendly event celebrating the opening of the new 495 Express Lanes Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail in McLean, VA.
Why 4.95?
The distance is a nod to I-495 and the event celebrates the opening of the new bicycle and pedestrian trail that runs parallel to I-495 and the 495 Express Lanes. The trail was built as part of the 495 NEXT project, which added 2.5 miles of new Express Lanes from Tysons to the George Washington Memorial Parkway interchange near the Maryland border in November 2025, delivering a more reliable option for Beltway travelers while creating new community connections for walking and biking.
Family-Friendly Entertainment
Enjoy FREE food and activities before and after the Fun Run, including:
- Face painting
- Balloon artists
- Magic tricks
- Music
- And more family‑friendly fun!
Register today and be part of the first steps (and strides) on the new path!
